Hello,

We are OhNoo Studio from Poland, we created a campaign on IndieGoGo for our first game - Tormentum.

Tormentum is a surreal adventure game, featuring moral choices.

The action of the game is set in a dark world, veering between dreams and nightmare. The main protagonist, that the player takes control over, doesn't remember his name nor the place where he came from. Visiting new lands, he slowly starts to uncover the truth about himself.

The dreamlike atmosphere featured in the game was inspired by the works of a Polish painter, [strong]Zdzislaw Beksinski[/strong], and a recently deceased Swiss painter, [strong]H.R.Giger[/strong], among others.




Unfortunately, bigger problems seem to arise. The flying ship lands in a big castle and the main hero is soon imprisoned in it. This is how this surreal story from the border of dream and reality begins...



Traversing different areas the hero learns the dark world in which he was imprisoned. Visiting new lands, he slowly starts to uncover the truth about himself.

Indiegogo always makes me seriously hesitate.

Though is this a situation where you can't be on kickstarter?

Edit: Nevermind it has fixed funding it makes me feel better. Nevermind.

Unfortunately Kickstarter at the moment does not support Poland, indeed most of Europe...

Obligatory post about user's first post being an advertisement.

Regardless, this looks really awesome and definitely a fantastic theme. I'm really glad you're using the money to pay for professional translation. If I may suggest, it might be good to get someone on your team who is a both a native English speaker and a writer or creative-type. Direct, word-for-word, translations (or proof reading) can often seem a bit lifeless and miss some of the feeling, idioms or word play which is so important in adventure games.

Hurm... I know a creative writing type in games who's a native English speaker and has three or four years of experience editing for a Russian translation gig (different from Polish, but similar language family).

Give me a ring if you decide to go that route ;]

It's not really a similar language. Polish is sorta completely on it's own, and it's certainly not something you could learn with enough fluency to translate in a few months. I mean, it's literally the hardest (widely spoken) language on the planet!!!

You'd definitely need someone who's natively bilingual with both English and Polish to do it - luckily there are quite a few Polish-English people around so it shouldn't be too hard.
